So maybe FIRST goes RPV? Small parts of teams travel to take care of the hardware, while the Controllers (drivers & strategists) stay home? Or the Controllers perhaps gather collectively in some relatively local multi-team environment, for the hoopla factor.
Wireless remote control (instead of autonomy) started down this path. The Kinect is extending it. Most fields become big arrays of OLED TV's. This is the real world, mostly autonomous machines with some remote (NM to Afghanistan) supervision.
